At gajoen, which was built as restaurant first early 20c century. This part of the building, which is in its original form from 70 years ago is not normally open to public, but till august 13th Akira Kurosawa’s exhibition is held here. Unfortunately no pictures were allowed inside those gorgeous rooms.

Men’s toilet in the small bar alley in shibuya.
When i was taking this picture, a lady who was passing by stopped and looked under the door curiously (followed by a confused look towards me).

Thank you sooooo much! Its difficult not to notice my interest in the subject matter, but the timing of the delivery was perfect- friday afternoon, after a long telco. Havent looked closely yet, but at a first glance, featured places are too sanitary- like people’s faces for arranged dates.
why an additional sign is sometimes necessary
2006.05.19 - 02:05
how many kiosks have i frowned at that needed all the additional signs
and stickers in order for them to be used properly?
my Toto washlet has the flushing buttons on top of a controller, which
is mounted on the wall next to the toilet seat. all the text is of
course in japanese. but it also has a function to automatically flush
if the user seats on it longer than x secs (note: haven’t tested it,
didn’t read the manual), so i usually never need to use the button.
however i found out some other users had difficulty figuring all this
out, specifically for this combination of demographics + use
situation:
user is male
number one (only)
not a seater (according to Toto’s own research, merely about 15% is)
has 0 knowledge on japanese/chinese character
has little or no experience in using japanese washlets
it was not only once that i had to deal with an embarrassed guest in
the house, so i wondered how to improve usability. this was best i
could do utilizing what was available in the house.
